Well, I used bootp to configure the JetDirect's and recently I switched to DHCP (dhcpd package). I did not use rarpd at all. You could also configure the JetDirects manually from Windows with the JetAdmin software. : Then things are straightforward: you put an entry in your printcap : just as you would for any printer server. Here's mine: : : lp|HP LaserJet|LaserJet4P:\ : :sd=/var/spool/lpd:\ : :rm=hplaserjet.some.domain:\ : :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\ : :st=/var/log/lpd-status:\ : :mx#0: Be sure to have a separate spool directory for each JetDirect you have. Also, an entry like rp=text or rp=raw is needed to send jobs as text or binary data. Regards, E.- -- Eloy A.
